Hi Shot, Kai, and Vaidotas,

I have a new version of the nautilus-media package in my own repository
for you to test out. I have worked out some of the bugs you guys
mentioned in the package regarding missing gconf keys and incorrect
gconf commands. Please install it and see if it fixes the problems you
had before.

You can find the package at http://www.nishra.com/debian/unstable/
